O Laluwa, Criminalize Not The Politics of Bihar! Poem by Bijay Kant Dubey

O Laluwa, Criminalize Not The Politics of Bihar! O Laluwa, criminalize you notThe politics of Bihar, You a country fellow, Rubbing tobaccoAnd chewing and spitting on the platformAnd speaking in Bhojpuri, Talk not big, As we know you, Who you are, A third class manFrom a third class family, A notorious villager, Small, fallen, degraded, Uncultured, illiterate and backward, Not the humble poor!

Laluwa, pose not as a joker, A scoffer, buffoon or a comedianAs you are not, neither a humorist nor a satirist, But a petty villager, Mean-minded and small, Poor and backward, Really, a third class fellow!

Criminalize you not the politicsBy inducting in more ruffians and loafers, Laluwa, You yourself a third class manMake not politics third classeyAfter reining in lathimen, The blunt and bogus people, Local petty goons and criminals!

Criminalize you not, Lallu, The state is not your property, Loot not the treasury, Commit not a theftWith your gang, Lallu, fear you God, Your last days coming nearer, A milkman, a buffaloman you!

N.B. A common name in Bihar, but the same when joins politics grows from the village area headship.
